A guide to Dark_AleX's Custom Firmware, by The EX

[motz]

The EX (http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/member.php?userid=63821) from our forums has written a detailed guide to Dark_AleX's Custom Firmware, explaining everything from installing, editing and un-installing! Great for those who are having trouble with the custom firmware or would just like to know more about what they're supposed to be doing.

just wanted to say something about the guide, its a great guide, only in the guide u install the AIOmod.prx AND the mp3plugin, but the mp3plugin wont work with the AIOMod installed.. mp3plugin wont work with any mod using usb...

really? ok, I'll put that in!

really it works for me, u have to remove the custom fw then put the mp3XMB folder in the root of ur MS then put the custom fw back on thats how i got it to work

[d3v1l]

didnt get it to work, googled the plugin, found slasher sayin it himself in a post on sum other site..
here is his post at qj.net: 24. » and...

I would also like to comment, that when using a USB-related module in conjunction with my mp3 program; it WON'T work. It will likely freeze if you use both a USB activating module & my mp3 plugin at the same time. Thanks.

by Slasher (

[BL4Z3D247]

ok well this is how mine works, with the # removed in the config.txt for the mp3XMB the mp3 module works but the auto usb mode doesn't then when i put the # back in the config.txt for the mp3XMB the auto usb turns back on, so they don't work together but they work and they're both installed u just have to remove/add the # on the module line the mp3XMB is on to toggle between modules

[d3v1l]

ur probably right yea..i had em both without the # n then my mp3 didnt work..so yea they dont work together..hopefully it will be added to the guide:)

[The EX]

I don't really understand what you mean, if you can make your own understandable bit of text about this then I'll add it!

[d3v1l]

ok:P i ment: if you have installed both the AIOmod.prx AND the mp3plugin by slasher, then you will have to choose which one to have enabled in the config.txt in psp/system, by adding a # before the loadmoduleX(see CHAP2) , because having both the AIOmod.prx and the mp3plugin will cause the mp3plugin to NOT work... something like that:P

[The EX]

Ok, i'll add that now...

[d3v1l]

just seen it added:) i hope that will fix a lot of questions...qj.net was full of questions about this..

[The EX]

lol, well I hope so too!

also with the vshex.prx, it works different with the other modules as well...when u use it with AIOmod.prx activated it runs at 333mhz all the time, but when u use it with the mp3XMB module u can toggle thru 133,222,266,333 mhz

what is vshex? do u have a site or link where i can find more mods for the c/f?

[The EX]

what is vshex? do u have a site or link where i can find more mods for the c/f?
vshex lets you return to 1.50 when in an emulated f/w above 2.00 in devhook...

[d3v1l]

ok..nvm then:P devhook isnt my thing until i get my 1 gb bck..stupid 32mb.. btw, what would happen if i would remove my memory stick? now that it looks all kind of things from my stick..

[gslop]

This is very useful.
